Hops Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I have a guy that does amazing tint work. Best I have ever seen. He's done 5 of my cars... He doesn't do ClearBra, but I don't really recommend ClearBra anyways. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGiT_Flat4 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 +1 on Chad's guy. He did my tint a year ago and it still looks as good as the day he installed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hops Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Clear bra fades different than the paint and can discolor. Sometimes moisture can get under the clear bra and look really bad. Take a look at cars with clear bras that are a little older. I'll pm you the info. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euclid Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 There are many factors that go into how good or bad clear film protection will look. The brand and quality of the film is extremely important. Just like cheap tint that turns purple, a cheap film will discolor and looks bad. How the film is maintained is also important. A car that doesn't have its exterior maintained properly will have bad looking film. The paint looks like crap too, but the film is different so stands out a bit more. I definitely understand why people aren't fans, but I'm a big proponent. I have it on all my cars and will continue to have it on my cars. For reference, here's my Legacy from a few months ago. 8 1/2 years old and the clear film still looks good, but that's because I maintain it. http://pics.theoriginalurl.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1040&g2_serialNumber=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hops Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Just like tint, it will oxidize over time and fade and discolor. And when you decide to take the clear bra off, your paint will have faded a bit by then and the paint under the clear bra will look newer. Unless you are like Euclid and I... We are OCD about our cars and wax frequently. Our cars also spend most of their time hanging out in the garage. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's car came with a Clear Bra, how do you get the cloudy/hazy look out of it? I'm tempted just to pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 You can't get it out. Pull it off, but the paint will look different underneath. A good polishing would help. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euclid Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Like Chad says, you can't get the haziness/dulling out of a clear film. I'd suggest removing it, and a good polish (find a detailing enthusiast) will even out the paint difference between what was covered vs. what wasn't.

He takes his time and doesn't rape you when it's time to pay. Don't waste your time elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Gadget Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 The car looks great, but she's fairly clean and it's snowing at the moment, so photos will have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Gadget Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Shawn's price was right and his work is top drawer. The front windows are legal and the everything from there back is a step, maybe 2, lighter than limo dark. Shawn said the tan interior would make the tint appear lighter; seeing it in the bright light of day momentarily made me think I should have gone with the limo tint in back. I'm sure plenty of you will think I should have gone as dark as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hops Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I have limo black (5%) on my Outback wagon. It's perfect for a wagon since there's so much glass and so much more light can enter. A sedan is a different story. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootsie Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Mine is 5% in back, but all of my cars have been for almost 10 years, so maybe I am just used to it, the only time I have a hard time is on really dark nights in really dark areas, but I also use my mirrors a lot..

If you have a buffer and a water based rubbing compound, buff it, it'll make the clear bra look brand new. Hopefully you haven't taken it off yet...
